Rensselaer Republican, Volume 15, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 July 1883 — FROM HANGING GROVE. [ARTICLE]

FROM HANGING GROVE.

Most of the farmers are through harvesting wheat, the crop was very short. Rye is tolerably good, and oats are splendid. Com looks first rate. Farmers will commence harvesting hay this week. The Parker Sabbath school is getting along well. Some of the Hanging Grove hands have gone to La Porte to harvest. Mr. William Moore is putting in some tile ditching this summer. Messrs Louis Jacks and Andrew Burk are on the sick list. Mr. Hiram Jacks thinks he has the best farm in the state since he has struck a flowing well.
